Getting back to Pablo's original question, he asked about using master
documents with sub-documents for each chapter. This is, in fact, the model
used by many systems, from LaTeX to yWriter, as well as LO.
But, I'm wondering how necessary it really is. The purpose of the master
document/subdocument system is to keep track of your document, where you may
be at a given place and time. But, LO's navigator tool offers much of the
same functionality without having to split your document up into many
different files. With the navigator, you can jump from point to point within
a single document based on headings, bookmarks, etc.
Depending on the size of the book, and your need to work on several
different sections of it at the same time, just using the navigator as
opposed to master documents could save yourself a lot of education time and
headaches. For me, the biggest headache with master documents comes when I'm
proofreading the master and find I want to make a small change. I hit a
keystroke and am immediately reminded that all editing must take place
within the subdocuments.
